Repurposing a Vintage Suitcase

I have seen all of these cute suitcase repurposed and thought Ill give it a try myself. So I started with a blue suitcase.

(really needs some love)

So I tore everything out and started from scratch. I cut out some cork board and some fabric for starters.

Then bought the best glue I could find. I started gluing the fabric to the cork board.

Inserted the board to the buttom of the suitcase. (this took some time. cut the board to big the first time)

(finally the perfect fit)

Now it was time to start on the top half. I will be using this to carry my supplies to and from the antiques shows. I had to make sure I had a small pocket for my square and some randoms.

Didn't it turn out super cute.

Now Mama's Girl Market is ready for the show.

Welcome to

Scotland There should be no surprise that us girls would go here. The first day we drove around and found a really cute B and B. The next day we picked up Kristlynne. ( that's Kristas sister in law) I know what your thinking two crazy gals was trouble but three crazy gals. All 3 of us have some kind of connection with Scotland. As we were driving back from Sterling we stopped at the Kelpies . These horse heads are huge. They can be seen from the highway. A lot of creativity and work when into creating these. As an artist I can really respect what the artist has created. ...

DIY Wedding Ring Box

It's been a while since I shared a DIY project. My little brother got married, there's a few projects that I did for this joyous occasion. I am really excited about how they turned out. I wanted to share with everyone the Wedding ring box project. The bride has shown me a picture of one that she liked online. And I thought it would be an easy task to make one instead of buying one. I found this little box at Jo Ann's craft store. Frist I started by removing the hardware. Stained it a dark color. After that was done drying, it was painted with a cream color. Then lightly sanded the corners and some of the flat surfaces, for a rustic look. I used transferable paper to get the image onto the box. I had purchased a small thing of silk and used Polly fill, for where the rings will sit. I did have an oopsie, had put the words inside the lid upside down. It was an easy fix. I couldn't be any happier with the way it turned ...

Capri Italy

The island of Capri is a beautiful one. Here is just a few pictures that I thought everyone would enjoy. We are off and headed to the Island This is a Italy Coast Guard boat. Once a Coastie, always a Coastie. It looks like, they don't want cars driven into the water. The roads are very narrow. This is a very cute small town. It was surprising and scary at how close the drivers would get to each other. Picture from the top of the island. What a view!!!! This is how big the buses are, on this tiny little island. Headed to the famous Blue Grotto Sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater, creates a blue reflection that illuminates the cavern The water gets a darker blue the further you go in. After the Grotto, boarded the boat that would be taking us back to Sorrento, Italy. ...
